1. Strike Force Basilisk
to landing bay! Go! Go!Copy !req
2. Reroute plasma flux
to starboard defense screens.Copy !req
3. Helmsman, get us out
of the gravity well now!Copy !req
4. Not enough thrust, general.
We've just lost reactors five and six.Copy !req
5. Then boom us out of here, blast you!Copy !req
6. Too late! They've locked us
in a symbiote-beam!Copy !req
7. Great Darkseid, the fleet ambushed us
as soon as we hit the troposphere.Copy !req
8. Starkiller 2 is gone
and we are in full retreat.Copy !req
9. They were waiting for us.Copy !req
10. You knew going into that sector...Copy !req
11. was a violation of our treaty
with New Genesis.Copy !req
12. It was a calculated risk.Copy !req
13. You have served me well, general.Copy !req
14. Take as many of them with you
as you can.Copy !req
15. As you command, my lord. We—Copy !req
16. We've lost contact.
General Steppenwolf.Copy !req
17. Come in! Steppenwolf!Copy !req
18. I'm afraid the general isn't
returning any calls today.Copy !req
19. Orion.Copy !req
20. Your invasion force is shattered.
It's over.Copy !req
21. Please accept this parting gift
with Highfather's compliments.Copy !req
22. We know of your
mad ambitions, Darkseid.Copy !req
23. This is your final warning.Copy !req
24. Break the treaty again
and you will be destroyed.Copy !req
25. J'ONN:
Magnificent, aren't they?Copy !req
26. Yes. Yes, they are.Copy !req
27. You miss your homeworld very much.Copy !req
28. It doesn't take a telepath
to see what's troubling you.Copy !req
29. I suppose not.Copy !req
30. Forgive me. I didn't mean to pry.Copy !req
31. J'onn, wait. It's all right. It's just...Copy !req
32. Well, it's a long story.Copy !req
33. Earth doesn't seem to be
in peril at the moment.Copy !req
34. Faster, dogs!Copy !req
35. To restore the glory
of Great Darkseid!Copy !req
36. You underestimated Highfather
and again it cost you dearly.Copy !req
37. The solution to the Anti-Life Equation
was almost within my grasp.Copy !req
38. But at what price?Copy !req
39. Our forces are decimated,
defenses weakened.Copy !req
40. It was a fool's errand.Copy !req
41. Uh, what I mean to say is...Copy !req
42. No one questions me, Desaad.Copy !req
43. No one.Copy !req
44. Father! Father, did you see?Copy !req
45. Be still, you fool. I'm not blind.Copy !req
46. But what is it?Copy !req
47. It's death.Copy !req
48. I tracked the criminals
to their fortress...Copy !req
49. but like a rank amateur,
I stumbled right into a trap.Copy !req
50. By all rights,
I should be dead.Copy !req
51. Their particle beam ripped
my molecules...Copy !req
52. and shot them halfway
across the cosmos.Copy !req
53. And you have no idea
where home is?Copy !req
54. J'onn, Thanagar is so far away...Copy !req
55. we've never even come into contact
with the Green Lantern Corps.Copy !req
56. - What?
- I was just thinking.Copy !req
57. You, me, Wonder Woman, Superman,
we are all of us orphans and exiles.Copy !req
58. Maybe we should call ourselves
the "Just Us League."Copy !req
59. What the devil?Copy !req
60. Sensors are picking up
a powerful energy surge...Copy !req
61. but I never saw
a signature like this.Copy !req
62. I have. It's a boom tube.Copy !req
63. We meet again, Kal-El.Copy !req
64. You!Copy !req
65. Stop him before he knocks us
out of orbit!Copy !req
66. - Superman, don't!
- Let go!Copy !req
67. - I see you haven't forgotten me.
- What do you want?Copy !req
68. Though it pains me to admit it,
I need your help.Copy !req
69. My latest skirmish with New Genesis
has left my military forces...Copy !req
70. at considerably less
than full strength.Copy !req
71. Why should we help you?Copy !req
72. Because my enemy is your enemy.Copy !req
73. Even as we speak,
Apokolips is being assimilated...Copy !req
74. by the Kryptonian menace
known as Brainiac.Copy !req
75. You're lying. I destroyed him.Copy !req
76. Apparently he is harder to kill
than you realized.Copy !req
77. You know his pattern, Kal-El.Copy !req
78. Once he finishes siphoning
the memory banks...Copy !req
79. and technology of my planet—Copy !req
80. He'll annihilate it.Copy !req
81. - Good.
- Superman!Copy !req
82. - What?
- You can't mean...Copy !req
83. You may not care what happens
to me or my world, but know this:Copy !req
84. If Brainiac isn't stopped,
countless millions more will perish.Copy !req
85. Think about it.Copy !req
86. So, what are you saying?Copy !req
87. You'd sacrifice millions of lives
just because you don't like this guy?Copy !req
88. You don't know Darkseid like I do.Copy !req
89. We know he used you...Copy !req
90. humiliated you, brainwashed you...Copy !req
91. wound you up like a tin soldier
and turned you loose against earth.Copy !req
92. Cry me a river.Copy !req
93. On the outside chance that this isn't
another of his schemes...Copy !req
94. we have to take action.
So I suggest you get over it.Copy !req
95. Brainiac has already destroyed
countless civilizations...Copy !req
96. and now he threatens another.Copy !req
97. Do you want this to be
the legacy of your people?Copy !req
98. I'm telling you, there's something wrong
with this whole scenario.Copy !req
99. All right, we'll play Darkseid's game.Copy !req
100. But I need you
to do something for me.Copy !req
101. Fire!Copy !req
102. Don't let up!Copy !req
103. My lord, Superman and the Justice
League have agreed to come to our aid.Copy !req
104. Transport them here now.Copy !req
105. There!Copy !req
106. Looks like Darkseid
was telling the truth.Copy !req
107. Looks can be deceiving.
Just stay sharp.Copy !req
108. That was fun.Copy !req
109. Let me get this straight.
Orion is Darkseid's own son?Copy !req
110. New Genesis and Apokolips
have been at war for centuries.Copy !req
111. Apparently, Darkseid and Highfather
exchanged sons...Copy !req
112. as part of some kind
of peace treaty.Copy !req
113. Sounds wacky to me too.Copy !req
114. But with the conflict on this scale,
we could use some backup.Copy !req
115. So where do we find this Orion?Copy !req
116. Batman!Copy !req
117. - You all right?
- Peachy.Copy !req
118. This way! That buzz bomb
won't hold him for long.Copy !req
119. You should be safe here.Copy !req
120. - Who are you?
- They call me Forager.Copy !req
121. Do you know someone named Orion?Copy !req
122. Orion? I am just an unworthy bug.Copy !req
123. Orion is a god who is far above us.Copy !req
124. You're too modest.Copy !req
125. - You've shown courage, compassion—
- No, no. You don't understand.Copy !req
126. All the gods are far above us.Copy !req
127. I'm gonna need a longer grapple.Copy !req
128. Idiot.Copy !req
129. You're wasting your time.Copy !req
130. I suppose you have a better idea.Copy !req
131. You should know by now
I always have a plan.Copy !req
132. Such grandeur.Copy !req
133. It even outshines Themyscira.
I've never seen the like.Copy !req
134. We can take in sights
some other time.Copy !req
135. Let's concentrate on finding Orion.Copy !req
136. What have we here?Copy !req
137. I've never seen bugs like you before.Copy !req
138. - We're not bugs.
- Well, you're certainly not gods.Copy !req
139. Hey! Come back here!Copy !req
140. Only if you catch me!Copy !req
141. He's worse than The Flash.Copy !req
142. What—?
What—?Copy !req
143. Stay on him.Copy !req
144. Hey!Copy !req
145. Hold still. We won't hurt you.Copy !req
146. No...Copy !req
147. you most certainly will not.Copy !req
148. Brainiac!Copy !req
149. Kal-El, what brings you so far
from your adopted home?Copy !req
150. I'm here to end you.Copy !req
151. If your father, Jor-El, couldn't stop me,
what hope have you?Copy !req
152. Drop that force field and find out.Copy !req
153. No, I don't believe
that will be necessary.Copy !req
154. Superman has played his part.
Now it's our turn.Copy !req
155. Now!Copy !req
156. It appears you've won
this round, Kal-El.Copy !req
157. No!Copy !req
158. Behind you!Copy !req
159. You okay?Copy !req
160. I've had softer landings.Copy !req
161. You imbeciles
are letting Brainiac get away.Copy !req
162. What are you waiting for? Finish him!Copy !req
163. Sure, but only
because you ask so nicely.Copy !req
164. Here's our ride.Copy !req
165. Still think Darkseid
was up to something?Copy !req
166. Hawkgirl, I'd bet the farm on it.Copy !req
167. Gone. But that's impossible.Copy !req
168. J'ONN:
Some kind of warp drive?Copy !req
169. No. According to the navicomputer,
he should be right below us.Copy !req
170. Oh, my stars. What is that thing?Copy !req
171. We'll know soon enough.Copy !req
